When new post created in WordPress, add post to Nuelink

When you publish a new WordPress post, this workflow adds it to a Nuelink collection as a social media post, so each article joins your sharing queue without copying the title and link by hand.

WordPress Nuelink

2 steps Setup ~5 min Used on 1.8k sites Free to import

The When new post created in WordPress, add post to Nuelink workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across WordPress, Nuelink
The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Writing the article is the hard part, yet the social post that follows is still a chore: open Nuelink, paste the title, paste the link, pick a collection. This workflow does that hand-off the moment a post goes live on your site.

The WordPress trigger fires once, when a post first moves to published. Updating an article that is already live does not start it again, and pages never fire it. Custom post types count too, unless you set the trigger's post type option to one type. The post's data, such as its title and permalink, is then ready to map.

The action adds a new social media post to a collection in Nuelink. You decide what the post text holds by mapping WordPress values into the step. What happens next in Nuelink depends on how you run that collection. Task History records each run with the data that was sent, so you can check a post that looks wrong in Nuelink.

Blog promotion for a small business

Every article you publish lands in the Nuelink collection you use for blog promotion, with its title and link already filled in.

News site with several authors

Editors publish in WordPress as usual. Each story is added to Nuelink without the social team needing to watch the site for new posts.

Product announcements from a custom post type

Limit the trigger to a releases post type, so only release notes reach the Nuelink collection reserved for product news.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

  1. Step 1Trigger
    WordPress New Post

    Fires when a WordPress post is published for the first time. Edits to live posts and new pages do not fire it. The post's details are passed on for mapping.

  2. Step 2Action
    Nuelink Add Post to Collection

    Adds a new social media post to the Nuelink collection you pick. Map the WordPress title, permalink or excerpt into the post and connect your Nuelink account.

What you need

  • FlowMatticCore
  • Nuelink AccountAccount

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

  • To keep some posts off social media, add a Filter after the trigger that checks a value from the captured post data, such as a category if your test run shows one.
  • Build the post text from more than one value, for example the title followed by the permalink, so each Nuelink post reads well without editing.
  • Publish a test post after import so FlowMattic captures real post data, then map it in the Nuelink step before you switch the workflow on.

Questions about this workflow

Will updating an old WordPress post add it to Nuelink again?

No. The New Post trigger fires once, when a post is first published. Later edits to a live post do not start the workflow.

Do WordPress pages get sent to Nuelink?

No. Pages never fire this trigger. Posts and custom post types do, unless you limit the trigger to a single post type.

Do I need the Nuelink collection set up first?

Yes. The step adds posts to an existing collection, so create the collection in Nuelink, connect your account in FlowMattic and choose it in the step.

Are posts I published before turning this on added to Nuelink?

No. Only posts published while the workflow is active reach Nuelink.

The software works really well, and the team is adding integrations constantly, so I'm positive it eventually will catch up with Zapier. The flows are very easy to create and if you have any doubt, the team will give you great support.

Easy to use, familiar UI for automating all kinds of wordpress tasks. Integrating all our plugins together is key and flowmattic fits the job perfectly.
